The Apollo Centre of Excellence for Sports Injuries & Orthopaedics was inaugurated on Friday at Apollo Hospitals’ Financial District facility here.
The state-of-the-art centre was inaugurated by Anil Kamineni, founder of KEI Group; Jayesh Ranjan, Special Chief Secretary, Sports Department, Government of Telangana; and members of the Sunrisers Hyderabad squad.
Speaking at the event, Jayesh Ranjan hailed the initiative, calling the presence of Sunrisers pacers Pat Cummins, Eshan Malinga, Sakib Hussain, and Praful Hinge as a memorable occasion.
“The Apollo Group has been making us proud for decades now, and this is yet another phenomenal center. It’s also a great idea to get all the fast bowlers for this event, because amongst cricketers, this is one lot which is the most injury-prone,” he said, adding, “we would like all sports to benefit from this. In fact, I’ll be proposing that we ask the Telangana Olympic Association to enter into a formal agreement with you.”
SRH captain Pat Cummins drew from his own experiences while underlining the importance of specialised sports medicine facilities for professional athletes.
